WHY WE LOVE IT Dallas Film Society President and CEO Lee Papert first met his future wife in the lobby of the Meyerson Symphony Center during a Dallas Wind Symphony concert intermission. A few years later, he was asking for her hand in marriage during a spring break getaway to St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands.

THE VENUE The historic Hall of State at Fair Park provided a majestic backdrop for the wedding, and its regal color scheme of blue, green, champagne and silver.

THE DETAILS Harpist Naoko Stromberg strummed melodies for the alfresco ceremony, and Ricki Derek kept the reception fueled with big band and Sinatra-tinged salutes.
